Submit by Email problem

I created a form with "submit by email" button. When I click on the button it opens into my email just fine, but the email address is listed twice. I checked the object information and the address is only entered once. Can anyone help?

Before you go too far on the on e-mail submission, what is the purpose of the form in terms of distribution and are you having the PDF or the data submitted. The PDF is an issue, as is e-mail submission itself. They both have problems and more information is needed before you bother with completing what you are trying to do.
As far as the link, it should be only listed 1 time in the submit button icon.

Submit By Email button not working in FireFox 25.0.1

If the form is saved to desktop or opened in IE, we are not seeing any issues. However, when clicking on the submit by email button in in FireFox 25.0.1, a pop-up appears to choose the default email program or a web email program. We use Outlook and it is set by default. After checking the Outlook option, the form freezes for about a minute and the email window with the PDF attached never appears.
I'm using the built-in Submit By Email button in Livecycle Designer 9.
<event name="event__click" activity="click">
<submit format="pdf" textEncoding="UTF-8" target="mailto:[email protected]?subject=EBSS User Renewal Request- Approval Needed Request"/>
</event>

If the PDF submits to a server-side script URL it can bypass client-side email software.
Try the online PDF submission examples and see if it works for you in Mozilla FireFox:

You should also make sure the browser is using the Adobe Reader plugin as the default PDF reader.

Submit by Email with CC for a pdf as an attachment

Hello,
I am using the codes below for a regular submit button to submit by email and having a problem of CC address. I hard-coded the CC address but it does not seem to recognize it, it keep taking the address in the "To" to put on the CC address. Can any one please check for me if there is any wrong with the codes below on the mouse up event:
var cToAddr = "[email protected]";
var cCCAddr = "[email protected]";
//Set the subject and body text for the e-mail message
var cSubLine = "Craft Issue Tracking Form";
var cBody = "Please see the attached form.";
// Send the form data as an FDF attachment on an e-mail
event.target.mailDoc({bUI: true, cTo: cToAddr, cCc: cCCAddr, cSubject: cSubLine, cMsg: cBody});
Thanks in advance,
Han Dao

Try this..
If you are using a regular Button then place the below code in the click event of the button.
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:"+ cToAddr + "?cc=" + cCCAddr + "&subject=" + cSubLine + "&body=" + cBody,cSubmitAs:"PDF"});
Thanks
Srini
var cToAddr = "[email protected]";
var cCCAddr = "[email protected]";
//Set the subject and body text for the e-mail message
var cSubLine = "Craft Issue Tracking Form";
var cBody = "Please see the attached form.";
// Send the form data as an FDF attachment on an e-mail

How to submit an email with a header/footer in the body of the email?

I'm trying to submit an email with a PDF attachment but needs to have a static header and footer in the the body of the email before sending it. How would this be done and is it possible to do this? I'm new at this and not sure how to even start this. Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You can put info into the body of the email but you are limited on formatting it. Here is a post from Stefan Cameron with sample that I think will really help you.

Submit by Email Does Not Work in IE9

I have a PDF form that is on our company Intranet with a Submit by Email button. When a user uses Internet Explorer 9 to open this form and hit the Submit by Email button, the Select Email Client window appears. After selecting Desktop Email Application, nothing happens. No email client opens up. It works with the latest version of Firefox and Chrome though. Anyone run into the same issue?
Running:
Windows 7 SP1
Internet Explorer 9 (9.0.8112.16421)
GroupWise 8
Adobe Acrobat X Pro (10.0.2)

I am having a similar issue, but with different software. We have a form on our companies intranet with a submit button. If you are an XP user the email (Outlook) box opens and you can send it off. If you are a Windows 7 user, you hit the submit button and nothing appears to happen. It is sending the email behind the scenes, but the user has no idea that it has been sent, therefore the reciever gets several unecessary emails from the same user.
Windows 7
Outlook 10
IE8
Acrobat X
Sharepoint
Any suggestions would be grateful !!!

How do I change the submit to email address?

I have made a form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro, and initially I wanted the form to be sent to one email and I entered it in, but now that person is no longer accepting the forms and it needs to be routed back to me. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to figure out how to change the submit to email address. Even when I try and make a new form, the other email autofills itself. Any help would be great. Thank you.

Thank you.
I actually found what I was looking for. Here is the answer:

Submit by Email AS a PDF (urgent - time crunch)

I'm creating a form to be distributed externally to clients via email. I'd like them to be able to fill in the form, then click Submit by Email and have a completed PDF sent back to me (which we save in clients files for our records in an attempt at paperlessness). I've got the Submit by Email button in my form now, but apparently the default submission format is XML not PDF. Is there a way to change this?
Thanks - Sat

Paul,
Appreciating your explanations.
I never knew that we could submit our form in these many ways.
Your examples are informative and very useful to me.
I have another question: Can we close the pdf after submitting the form to an email address??
I mean, a user fills-in a User Acceptance Form and clicking on submit button. This should trigger an email (internally) and the form should close.
Is it possible?
Thanks,
Nith

Submit by Email as PDF attachment instead of XML

We created a form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer and added a "Submit by Email" button. When the user selects the button, an email message starts but the attachment is an XML extension. How can we change that so when the button is selected, the attachment comes as the completed form in PDF?
Thanks,
Tim

If you want people to be able to submit the entire PDF instead of just the data then you will need to "Reader Extend" the form using Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES. If the volume and number of users is low (please read the EULA for complete details) then you may also extend the form using Acrobat.

Submit by Email - asks "as a link or an attachment"

Have designed a form in Acrobat that we want our customers to fill out and return to us via email by clicking on a button.
We have created a button that has the submit by email function.
We have enabled reader rights on the document.
However, when we click the button, the user gets a screen asking:
"How would you like to email this document?
Send a link (URL) to the original, unmodified pdf file on the web?
Send a copy of the pdf file, including your changes, as an attachment?"
All we want to happen is the last option: Send a copy of the pdf file. Is there a setting somewhere that we can tag to skip the scenario above and just proceed to open Outlook and attach the pdf as a file.
Thanks for any suggestions

Apparently this happens if the client is using a webmail client.
If Outlook is the default, Outlook creates a new email with the form as an attachment without a problem.
Not sure about OE or other email clients.
Due to the number of people using webmail, I would be cautious about using the "send as email" function in Adobe.

Submit By Email Doesn't Launch Outlook 2010 as Default Mail Client, though Outlook is properly set a

A form designed in LiveCycle Designer with a Submit By Email button, doesn't launch Outlook 2010 (Standard Edition) when clicked, although Outlook is properly configured as Default Mail Client. Checked with Microsoft and followed all proper steps yet the button doesn't invoke Outlook onClick. However, Outlook is launched if a link or html button, set to the mailto syntax is clicked. Is this a PDF form issue for LiveCycle or is there something I am missing? Please any ideas?

I have this problem on Win7 64bit, but it seems to work fine with XP and Vista. Not sure about Win7 32bit.
I've also seen the problem in the past with programs like Thunderbird set to be the default email client (on XP).
I've never been able to figure out if it's an Adobe or Microsoft problem. Adobe uses the MAPI settings to find the email client.

Submit by email with Mac OS

Hi there,
First time posting. Thanks to everyone who is so amazing at answering questions here. I've learned alot.
I have a form created with Live Cycle Designer ES4. I have enabled reader rights by doing "Save as other" in Acrobat Pro.
The "Submit by Email" function is setup to send the "complete PDF" as an attachment. It works GREAT on a PC - perfect actually! I get that popup box asking if I want to use my 'default email application' or 'webmail'.
On a MAC however, that same button does nothing when pressed. I have made sure I am using the latest version of Adobe Reader on the mac and that I am not viewing the form through preview or any other app.
Does anyone have any advice as to how I can get this working on a MAC?
Thanks so much in advance!

It’s a wonder you could understand what I meant and glad you got it figured out here is an improved version of what I tried to say: (May help others struggling with same issue.
Sorry No advice. You can't, because Adobe it its shortsightedness hasn't built in XML based PDF support into the Mac Version. And probably never will. Adobe after 20-25 years still considers Macs as toys not really meant for serious work. Despite the fact, were it not for Mac users, And Adobe writing products for Mac first, they would still amount to a Font House today. For two years or more they wrote exclusively for Mac until PC's accepted them, after Mac Users worked the bugs out. Then we were all but abandoned.
We can read XML based PDF's, but can do nothing with them . What we can do, is re-save them which converts them to Plain PDF's. Then go to Forms Manager, and setup the form which will work on all Platforms.
So what you need to do is if you want your audience to include Mac users as well is avoid Lifecycle created forms and don't use any XML Based PDF Form . Create regular PDF forms and will it work on any platform.

Submit by email button not working

I have a simple form which has worked fine for the past couple of years, but since updating it with Livecycle Designer ES8.2 recently, the 'submit by email' button is not working for many who have downloaded it.
Works fine when I try it here and it worked fine last year, but not with this latest version of the pdf apparently.
If anyone has a moment could they have a look and see if there's anything obviously wrong? (It has a couple of required fields before the button will work) It's at http://www.mogsport.net/series/2009-SeriesAppForm.pdf
Thanks

XP Pro SP3, LC ES8.2, Acrobat 9

i have had this problem too. it looks like you are getting the xml data file because the pdf opens as read only in acrobat reader and cannot be saved. one thing that solved the problem for me was to open the file in acrobat pro and use the distribute form wizard. this may just be a roundabout way of doing the reader extension paul mentioned, but in my case it worked.
open the file in acrobat pro (if you have it)
go to forms > distribute form...
when you get to "how do you want to collect responses.." select "manually collect responses in my inbox" from the dropdown menu and click next
then you will get to "how do you want to save your form"... click save a local copy and send it later the click the browse button and select where you want to save the document.
then click finish
go to where you saved the file and it should have the file name with "distributed" after it. send out that file and it should be able to save and return a pdf when the recipient clicks the submit by email button.
from what i remember the first time you go through the dist form process you have to fill in contact info, email etc. whatever email you put for this will be the email the form is returned to when you hit the submit by email button. from what i remember it even overrides the email address programmed into the sumbit by email button. if you want to change the contact info later you can change it in Edit > preferences > identity
hope this works for you

Submit by Email Button Trouble

I have created a form fillable pdf with a Submit by Email button. The problem I am having is that some people I send this to fill out the form, click on the Submit by Email button and nothing happens. It doesn't work at all. Others have no problem with it working. Have you experienced this problem, or can you offer any suggestions how to correct this? I really need for this to work 100% of the time, or I will just need to remove this feature. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

When it doesn't work, do you know what PDF viewer is being used? It won't work with certain non-Adobe PDF viewers, such as the Preview application on the Mac or Google Chrome browser's built-in PDF viewer. It also may not work even if using Adobe Reader if the client doesn't have a propertly set up email client or the email client is otherwise not compatible. It will never work 100% of the time when sending by email.
If you want to increase the reliablility significantly, you should look into setting it up so the form submits to a web server. This has the added benefit of being able to be secure without too much trouble, unlike email.

Submit by email - two related questions

Windows 7 Ultimate
MS Outlook 2007
LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2
Reader X
I'm very new to LiveCycle & have just created my first form with a "submit by email" button which sends the data from the form as an xml file.
I can see how sending as xml would make sense if the idea was to use the form to collect data from lots of sources that needed collating (e.g. a survey) but
What if it's something like a job application form, so I'd need to see each one seperately? So, how do I set the email button to send a copy of the completed form itself, as a pdf?
If I do need to collate data, what do i do with the xml file - how do i get multiple xml files from different people to import into.........what, a spreadsheet, a database, something else.....?
Thanks,
Boris

Hi Boris,
In Addition to Radzmar Post you can try the below mentioned steps to send the completed form as PDF and not XML
You'll need to change your email submit to a plain old "Button",
In the Object tab specify the Control Type as "Submit". This will give you a Submit tab.
Then on the Submit tab set the Submit to URL field to be mailto:mailaddress.
In the Submit As dropdown select PDF.
If you want recipients using Reader to save form data, you'll need to make sure the PDF is Reader-enabled in Acrobat
Hope it helps

Submit by Email Without Automatically Sending Email???

I'm trying to distribute a form that will "submit by email" when the user is finished filling it out. Then when our admin receives the form, have it automatically ask what dataset to add it to.
This works fine, EXCEPT when the user submits the form, it automatically sends the email right away - straight to the Outlook "Outbox" folder. I want it to create the email (with PDF attachment), but wait for the user to hit send. This is so they can attach additional files to the email or add comments to the body of the email.
Right now this doesn't seem possible. I can send it without using the "Distribute Form" option in the menus, but then the popup asking what dataset to add it to doesn't appear.
Any ideas?

Sure thing, Zoe. Thanks for asking. I've set it up a couple of ways, testing them, and they both seem to work the same way. I currently have it set up with a generic button, type "Button", control type "Submit" with "Submit to URL:" set to "mailto:<emailaddress>" and "Submit as" set to PDF in the Submit tab. I've also used a "Email Submit" button for this, with the email address and subject line set appropriately. Both of these methods seem to work the same way. I haven't tried an "HTTP Submit" button method yet, but I would presume it to work the same also. Any ideas? Thanks for the help.
